X-pro 2 first impressions and iso test | Adrian Evans

The ISO dial…

*ISO dial is on the outside, pull up to engage. It’s cool but… Now, the ISO dial… I’m not super sure about this. What I’d like (and honestly maybe this is a function I don’t know about, I only had a few minutes to play with it in the shop) is for Fuji to give us the OPTION to override the ISO dial and just use the front dial with a push to engage ISO selection. The problem is this. When you want to change ISO you have to pull up the ring surrounding the shutter speed dial. This is FINE if you’re looking at the top of the camera, however, if you’re trying to do it with your eye to the viewfinder, it can be a bit awkward. Sure, it’s not as awkward as the ISO changing system I have on the X-Pro 1 (Fn button to engage ISO, then back dial to switch settings), in fact I like it MORE than jumping through hoops like on the X-Pro 1, so it’s an improvement, however, I’m not sure how easy it will be to get use to. Maybe I’ll love it after a bit of practice, but right now I’m not sure if it’s not just a little too fiddly. Therefore, if there’s an option to use the front dial instead (or perhaps Fuji can Kaizen it into some future firmware) it would be a good idea. I believe you can do something similar with the X-T10……
